Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Club, No Bun (~255 cal)
By Alec Zakhary
Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Club without the bun runs 255 cal, 30g protein, 12g fat, 5g carbs — versus 461 cal with the bun. Bunless saves 206 cal and 34g carbs while keeping the chicken, bacon, cheese, and veggies intact. Solid keto and cutting option.

What customer reports show
Beyond the brand-claimed numbers, here's what aggregated customer reports and independent investigations turned up:
- Removing the multigrain bun saves 206 cal and 34g carbs — the bun is the single biggest macro contributor in the sandwich, more than the chicken, cheese, and bacon combined.
- Chick-fil-A's grilled chicken filet alone (no toppings, no bun) is around 160 cal / 28g protein — the bunless club just adds Colby Jack cheese, bacon, lettuce, and tomato on top.
- Default cheese is Colby Jack, but most stores will sub Pepper Jack at no charge — both are around 60 cal and similar macros. American adds slightly fewer calories.
- Chick-fil-A staff don't have a formal "lettuce wrap" build — "no bun" usually arrives plated rather than wrapped. Order on the app and select "no bun" in modifications for the cleanest result.
My take
Chick-fil-A Grilled Club bunless = 255 cal, 30g protein, 5g carbs — one of the cleanest keto fast-food entrees. Pair with kale crunch side (no dressing) for a cutting meal under 400 cal.
Frequently asked questions
How many calories in a Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Club without the bun?
About 255 calories — that's the chicken filet (160 cal), Colby Jack cheese (60), bacon (45), and lettuce + tomato (10). With the multigrain bun, it's 461 cal. Macros bunless: 30g protein, 12g fat, 5g carbs (vs 39g carbs with bun), 800mg sodium.
Is the Grilled Chicken Club keto-friendly without the bun?
Yes — at 5g carbs, it fits within strict keto. The bacon and Colby Jack add fat, and the grilled chicken is lean protein. Skip any sauce that adds sugar (Chick-fil-A Sauce has 6g sugar per packet) — go with mayo, garlic & herb ranch, or just lemon for the cleanest keto add.
How do I order "no bun" at Chick-fil-A?
Easiest way is the Chick-fil-A app — select the Grilled Chicken Club, then in customizations choose "No Bun." In-store, just say "grilled chicken club, no bun" to the cashier. There's no formal lettuce wrap option — most stores plate it open.
What sides pair well for keto with the bunless Grilled Club?
The Kale Crunch Side (120 cal / 9g net carbs) is the keto-cleanest side. Side Salad (110 cal) also works if you skip the croutons and use Light Italian dressing (5 cal). Avoid Waffle Fries (420 cal / 45g carbs) and Mac & Cheese (450 cal). Combo total stays under 400 cal.
Bunless Grilled Club vs Grilled Nuggets — which is better for cutting?
Bunless Club = 255 cal / 30g protein. 8-count Grilled Nuggets = 130 cal / 25g protein. Per gram of protein, the nuggets are slightly leaner (5.2 cal/g protein vs 8.5 for the club). But the club has bacon and cheese, which add satiety. Both are solid; nuggets if you're calorie-strict, club if you want flavor.
